Internet Safety for Parents & Students 2013

Last year we discussed, “there is no delete.”  This year we add to that: social media is not free; the price of admission is your personal information.

A special thanks to Rosarian Academy for allowing me to speak to parents and students in separate sessions so parents can learn tips about social media and how to protect their own privacy as well as start the discussion with their children.  

Likewise, students learned about examples where emails, photos, and Facebook posts which people thought were private… ended up circulated around the globe.  And how that can affect their high school, college, and job applications.  We also discussed illegal downloading and other computer crimes.

The Powerpoint for the parents is here.  The student version is here.
